For once, the slow pace didn't bother me. I've enjoyed pretty most all of this season.

I can't stand the Governor, but I like that they brought an element of humanity to the guy and it didn't seem like it was forced. It actually seemed like he cared. Of course, there is no telling what will end up happening to the little girl he's "adopted."

Good episode all the way around IMO.

I LOVED tonight's episode, and I've been kinda bored with the season so far too. It feels weird seeing the Governor in a sympathetic role after everything we've seen so far but I think they did it well.

Still trying to piece together how he gets outside of the prison at the last episode. Obviously some **** goes down between that scene and the end of tonight's episode, with this new family appearing to be under control of Governor's old sidekick.

All I could think last night after the episode was over was "Geez - the guys on JD were complaining that it'd be a whole episode dedicated to the Governor... they're gonna go ballistic now that it's TWO!"

The episode was fine. I suppose you could survive on pepperoni and spaghetti-os for a long time as long as you could track down water.

Am I the only one who liked the storyline, but HATED the performances? All four of those in the apartment were awful. It was like watching a high school play.

Also, how the hell is it that "I'm a badass" sister kept going back upstairs to shoot walkers and never thought to experiment with a headshot. The first time, sure. The second time I would think you would just intuitively try a shot to the head.

This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.

I generally don't mind the slower paced episodes but this one really dragged, IMO. Mostly because of Phillip himself. All the brooding, no talking, it got tiresome.

Props for making the guy seem a little less psychopathically demonic, but if you are expecting the audience to buy some sort of half assed redemption story you can forget it. This is not Merle.

I was suprised Martinez and the other guy ditched him, but that was classic.

I didn't really get pouring out the spaghettios either, but in retrospect probably a smart move. If you meet new people in the zombie apocalypse, and they offer to feed you right off the bat, there is probably a high probability of poison and/or roofies. Stick with the sardines.

Leaving was just plain silly though. "Who needs all these comfortable beds and toilets?" They could have cleared that building easily enough. WTF do they think they are going to find? Phillip at least should have known better.

End of the world or not, getting freaky in the back of the van with a little kid sleeping right next to you is just plain disgusting. Like it's so hard to sneak away, sheesh. Even Shane and Lori never stopped that low.

I was surprised this merited a second episode as well, but clearly some bad stuff has to happen for him to have any interest in going back to that prison.

It's not that The Governor thought they were laced with something, it's just that he's kind of a foodie and only likes the real thing.

I liked it eventhough it was a slower pace. it was maybe a tad too slow but I appreciate the honest attempt at story telling character development. wasn't perfect but it didn't suk either. I had a feeling he'd take to the little girl as a replacement for his daughter thought I was surprised her mother decided, hey what they hay he's the first man to come around in a long time and it also seemed like the sister almost a cop plays for the girls team so someone had to get funky with the monkey. But the end with the Gov rescuing the girl in the walker pit and martinez showing up with a genuine WTF look on his face was great!

Did anyone else think the Mom looked an awful lot like Maggie? Maybe it was the unflattering post-apocalype hair style but that seemed intentional almost.

Forgot to mention the highlight of Talking Dead - Hardwick busting out the Governor action figure! Although it might have been nice to note they are also available at Walgreen's, Toys R Us, etc and not just pimp the AMC website.
